An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around himto give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants tobring in a faggot of sticks, and said to his eldest1 son: "Breakit." The son strained and strained, but with all his efforts wasunable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but noneof them was successful. "Untie2 the faggots," Said the father,"And each of you take a stick." When they had done so, he calledout to them: "Now, break," And each stick was easily broken. "Yousee my meaning," Said their father. 
Union gives strength.
